Superior Rottweilers

What exactly are superior rottweilers? Superior rottweilers are the ones that are bred by responsible breeders who take pride in what they do and are concerned with this wonderful breed.

Below you can find some details from the Canadian Rottweiler Breed Standard that can guide you to knowing a little more about what superior rottweilers are:

General Appearance:
The ideal rottweiler is an above medium sized, robust, and powerful dog, balck with clearly difined rich tan markings. His compact build denotes great strenght, agility, and endurance. Malers are acharacteristically larger, heavier boned and more masculine in appearance.

Temperament:
The Rottweiler should possess a fearless expression with a self-assured aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships. He has a strong willingness to work. In examining superior rottweilers one should bear in mind that this dog reacts with alertness to his master and his surroundings, and in performing his function in life, rottweilers are not expected to submit to excessive handling by strangers. However, the judge shall dismiss from the ring any shy or vicious Rottweiler. A dog shall be judged fundamentally shy if, refusing to stand for examination it shrinks away from the judge, if it fears an unexpected approach form the rear, if it shies at a sudden or unusual noises to a marked degree. A dog that attacks or attempts to attack, without provocation, either the judge, or its handler is definitely vicious. An aggressive or belligerent attitude towards other dogs shall not be deemed viciousness.

Size:
Dogs24 -27 inches (60 - 68 cms). Bitches 22 - 25 inches (55 - 63 cms)
Proportion should always be considered rather than height alone. The lenght of the body, from the breastbone (sternum) to the rear of edge of the pelvis (ischium) is slightly longer than the height of the dog at the withers, the most desirable proportion being as 10 to 9. Depth of the chest should be fifty percent of the height.

Coat and Colour:
Outer coat is straight, coarse, dense, medium length, lying flat. Undercoat must be present on neck and thights. The Rottweiler should be exhibited in a natural condition without trimming, except to remove whiskers, if desired. The colour is always black with rich tan or mahogany markings. The borderline between the black and the colour should be clearly defined. The markings should be located as follows: a spot over each eye, on cheeks, as a strip around each side of the muzzle, but not on the bridge of the nose; on throat; a proportionate trinagular mark on either side of the breastbone not to exceed 25 per cent of the forechest; on forelegs from carpus downward to toes; on inside of the rear legs showing down the front of the stifle and broadening out to front of rear legs from hock to toes but not eliminating the black from the back of the legs; under tail. Black pensiling markings of the toes. The undercoat is gray or black. Quantity and location of markings are important. Insufficient or excessive markings should be penalized.
